Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dental care that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth and gums. Some cosmetic dentistry treatments improve dental health in addition to boosting smile aesthetics. Other cosmetic procedures like professional teeth whitening provide purely aesthetic benefits.

There are many cosmetic dental procedures available because every person’s teeth are different. Your dentist in Tampa, FL, will help you understand which treatments are right for your smile goals in a consultation. They will offer recommendations based on your oral health and treatment goals, but the final decision is up to you. What’s most important is that you feel confident about the way you look when you open your mouth wide to flash a smile!

There are some common types of cosmetic dentistry procedures that can enhance your smile:

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is bonded to the tooth surface to improve the look of chips, cracks, stains, or gaps. Bonding is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to quickly improve the appearance of one or a few teeth. It typically lasts around five years, but it can be reapplied as needed.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a treatment option for addressing minor imperfections in the smile. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are adhered to the fronts of teeth to hide damage and smooth the appearance of alignment issues. They are custom-made for each patient and designed to look as natural as possible. Veneers also last longer than bonding because they protect the tooth from further damage.

Teeth Whitening

You can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile with professional whitening treatments. Professional teeth bleaching treatments are safe, effective, and long-lasting. Our practice offers both in-office treatments and at-home kits for your convenience. You may achieve results after just one appointment, but depending on the severity of your stains, we may recommend additional appointments for the best results.

Invisalign®

If you’re looking for one of the most discreet ways to straighten your teeth, Invisalign® orthodontics may be the solution for you. These clear aligners fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible when you wear them. Plus, they are removable, so you can still eat all your favorite foods while you’re straightening your smile.

Dental Implants 

Dental implants replace missing teeth above the gum line with beautiful artificial teeth that look and function just like natural teeth. They can be used to replace one missing tooth or replace all teeth with implant-supported dentures.
